It is what Iimagine their more highly-evolved pop might sound like: shiny soul music with robots andhumans singing together. We are sending a pop music message through time.”So says The Apples in stereo / Elephant 6 collective mastermind Robert Schneider.The Apples’ new album and seventh studio effort, Travellers in Space and Time is thefollow-up to their critically acclaimed hit album New Magnetic Wonder and their secondrelease in association with Elijah Wood’s Simian Records.Travellers finds the studio-obsessed indie rockers continuing the hook-heavy pop mastery theyachieved on New Magnetic Wonder, an album that spawned performances on Conan O’Brienand Stephen Colbert, along with numerous commercial placements (Pepsi, Samsung, NewBalance) and even a performance of hit single “Energy” by the contestants of American Idol.Well over a year in the making, the new material recasts the Apples’ signature pop soundsin chrome-plated futurism, all while adding a dance-driven vibe channeling ELO, Barry Gibb,Wild Honey-era Beach Boys and Off The Wall-era Michael Jackson.FORHÅND 26.
